- Abstract
Meningitis is the most common central nervous system complication of mumps virus, whereas encephalitis, cranial nerve palsies, poliradiculoneuritis are less common and myelitis caused by mumps virus is very rare [Nussinovitch et al., Acta Pediatrica (1992) 81, 183]. Lesions in young age as a result of severe acute transverse myelitis [shown on a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) procedure] often has a viral cause. The case of a young male afflicted by meningoencephalomyelitis because of mumps virus is discussed.
